3rd Bone Final Pr En pr 19-9-2007 18:09 ÂÏ 5 INVITATION LETTER Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to the 3 d International Bone Strength and Quality Meeting, which will take place in September 29 and 30, 2007, on Samos Island, Greece. Bone Strength has always been the main investigational and therapeutical target for scientists and therapists in Bone field. Bone Quality has lately emerged as an umbrella term to shelter new information, beyond bone surface density and surface mass, leading to a better understanding of bone strength. The Quality concept is rapidly evolving flooding with information that certainly need evaluation and explanation. This is the reason we continue and organize this meeting for a third time, bearing in mind the elegant presentations, the vigorous discussions inside and outside the auditorium and last but not least the enthousiastic social atmosphere. Those of you who participated in the 1 st and 2 nd meeting in Rhodes and Corfu island will notice that the 3 d meeting is more clinical oriented. This is meant so that research knowledge is made available and thus tested in practice by clinitians and on the other hand feedback clinical information can be transferred back to the laboratory. As on the past, plenty of time for discussion will be available in both days. We are certain that the Meeting will be of great value both for clinicians and basic scientists providing the chance to exchange ideas and information on the most recent advances in Bone Science and at the same time to contribute to the better understanding of Bone Biology and the impact it bares for clinical practice. The mixture of the highly scientific and comprehensive program with a varied and exciting social program is the recipe for success and we have therefore adhered to these vital ingredients. The Combination of the excellent accommodations, conference facilities and the wonderful climate guarantee the success of the meeting. We very much look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful island of Samos! Sincerely Yours Lefteris Paschalis Grigoris Skarantavos Presidents of the Organizing Committee 5
